When we were first given this assignment, I must admit that I was very taken by surprise, as this is a task that most certainly is not easy. The first thing that came to my mind, however, was to create a powerpoint. Having created several powerpoints in the past, this is a program that I feel extremely comfortable working with. The next issue, was figuring out what to create the powerpoint on. A topic that I am extremely passionate about, is the topic of banning books in high school. I feel very strongly that banning books is 100% detrimental to students. Why do we as educators feel that it is necessary to discourage our students from reading certain material? It is difficult enough to get our children to read in the first place, so why ban certain material.
Again, this was a spur of the moment activity, so I wasn't able to accomplish a whole lot. My immediate response was to work with a program that I felt comfortable with. Having prior knowledge and experience with banning books, I felt that this was a good choice for me.
